CHECKING in on your mates should be one of the easiest things men do. For so many men, asking if their mates are okay isn’t really a priority. Asking a mate for help or telling them that you are struggling seems like an almost impossible task.
On average, seven men take their lives in Australia each day, that’s 2,555 men.
The Male Hug knows this, and the silent strain that affects men across the country daily, and the toll it takes on them. They want everyone to get involved in Talktober 2Triple5 this October.
The purpose of Talktober 2Triple5 is to reconnect with your friends. Get involved, walk, talk catch up with your friends and talk about the important things on our minds. Help The Male Hug raise vital funds for this very important cause.
Talk to a Buddy is another Male Hug initiative where men can call a free 24-hour seven day a week Hotline and connect with a volunteer Buddy to discuss whatever they are comfortable with, in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and friendly space. A problem shared is a problem halved. 1800 6928 339
